📖 Introduction
Mega Altaria’s Dragon and Fairy typing gives it strong defenses, requiring trainers to rely on Ice, Steel, or Fairy-type attackers for effective damage.
The Mega Evolution of Altaria, Mega Altaria is a powerful Dragon and Fairy-type Pokémon introduced to Pokémon GO through Mega Raids. Its unique dual typing gives it strong resistances against several common attack types while also making it resistant to Dragon-type moves.
Because Dragon attacks are normally one of the best ways to defeat Dragon-type raid bosses, Mega Altaria’s Fairy typing changes the battle strategy significantly. Trainers must instead rely on strong Ice, Steel, or Poison-type Pokémon to deal effective damage.
Mega Altaria is useful because:
- It boosts Dragon and Fairy-type attackers
- It is great against Dragon-type raid bosses
- It is a good Mega Pokémon for long raids due to its bulk
Although Mega Altaria can be a challenging opponent for small groups, trainers with well-prepared teams and the right counters can defeat it efficiently and earn valuable Mega Energy to power up their own Altaria.
🧠 Mega Altaria Raid Strategy
Mega Altaria is a Dragon and Fairy-type Pokémon with balanced stats, making it a moderately difficult raid boss. Unlike glass cannon bosses, it has decent bulk and can survive longer in battle.
Because of its dual typing, Mega Altaria has multiple resistances, which can reduce the effectiveness of many common attackers. This makes choosing the right counters extremely important.
- ⚙️ Use Steel-type Pokémon as your primary counters
- ❄️ Ice-types are effective against its Dragon typing
- 🧪 Poison-types can exploit its Fairy weakness
- ⚡ Focus on strong DPS attackers for faster raid completion
Coordinating with your team and using high-level counters will make the raid significantly easier.

💡 Expert Insight
Mega Altaria is a Dragon and Fairy-type raid boss with balanced bulk and moderate damage output, making it a manageable fight for most trainers. While it doesn’t hit as hard as some other Mega raids, its typing gives it useful resistances that can extend the battle if teams are not optimized.
Its double weakness to Ice-type moves is the most important factor in this raid. Trainers using strong Ice-type attackers can deal significantly higher damage, making Ice-based teams the most efficient strategy for fast clears.
Mega Evolution support, especially from Ice-type or Dragon-type Megas, can further boost team performance. For newer players, this raid is very accessible in groups, while experienced trainers can complete it with smaller teams using optimized counters and proper dodging.
As a Mega raid, defeating Mega Altaria also provides valuable Mega Energy, making it a worthwhile target for repeated raids and long-term progression.

🧠 Raid Strategy
1. Focus on Ice-Type Damage
Ice-type Pokémon deal strong super-effective damage against Mega Altaria’s Dragon typing and are the fastest way to defeat Mega Altaria. Stack as many Ice-type attackers as possible to quickly take down its high stamina.
2. Dodge Charged Moves
Mega Altaria’s Dragon Breath applies steady pressure, while charged moves like Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, or Sky Attack can hit very hard if not dodged. Dodging these moves preserves your top DPS counters, especially Ice Pokémon that may be frail.
3. Coordinate Mega Evolutions
A single Mega Ice Pokémon provides a team-wide boost to Ice-type moves. Coordinate with your group to maximize damage throughout the battle.
Mega Altaria’s Dragon and Fairy typing creates a distinctive set of vulnerabilities — most notably to Steel-, Poison-, and Ice-type attacks. Trainers should focus on Pokémon that can both resist Altaria’s moves and deal super-effective damage. Pokémon like Metagross with Meteor Mash, Roserade with Sludge Bomb, and Mamoswine with Ice Shard and Avalanche are strong candidates because they exploit multiple weaknesses.
Weather plays an important role in this raid. During Snowy or Partly Cloudy weather, Ice-type moves receive a boost, making Ice counters particularly effective. In Rainy conditions, Poison-type moves are stronger, which can help Pokémon like Roserade or Nidoking deal more damage per second. Trainers should adapt their team depending on the weather forecast at the time of the raid to make the most of these boosts.
Dodging charged attacks like Dragon Pulse and Moonblast can significantly improve your team’s survivability, especially in smaller raid groups. When dodging isn’t possible due to fast attack cadence, prioritize using Pokémon with higher bulk so they can survive long enough to deal meaningful damage. Mega Evolutions such as Mega Steelix or Mega Gardevoir are optional, but when used strategically they can provide valuable resistances and assist in dealing consistent DPS.
For best results, lead with your strongest counters at the start of the battle to apply pressure right away. If your team starts taking heavy damage, rotate in secondary counters that still exploit weaknesses but have better overall durability. With smart weather consideration and tactical dodging, Mega Altaria can be defeated consistently and efficiently.
